Game Camp Impact…
In this week’s Newdale News, you will read about Ty-
ler Dalke’s experience attending Assiniboine Community
College Game Design Summer Camp. During the camp,
which ran from August 20th to 25th, 17-year-old Tyler
and his teammates created a video game called Impact.
For the video game fanatics out there, you can check out
Impact, as well as other games created during the camp
at https://itch.io/jam/summer-game-camp-2018
Getting Ready…
Another summer is quickly flying by and although
there is still a bit of time before the 2018-2019 school
year begins, School Division and teaching staff are busy
preparing for the new school year. This past week, Roll-
ing River School Division hosted a secretary start-up day
on Monday followed by a new teacher orientation day on
Tuesday. Students in RRSD head back to class next Fri-
day, September 7th to kick-off the brand new school year.
Touring the Carlton Trail…
Lorne Radcliff of Cardale is organizing a historic trail
venture along part of the old Carlton Trail at 1:30 p.m. on
Saturday, September 29th. The tour will begin at the Mo-
line cairn site. This will not be a walking tour and those
interested are encouraged to bring a 4x4 vehicle as there
are some deep ruts in some areas. Anyone interested in
more information or to register for this historic venture,
please contact Lorne at 204-566-2329.
Registrations packages…
Up until just recently, there appeared to be no inter-
est in any new candidates running for Minnedosa Town
Council in the upcoming election. Thankfully, there now
appears to be some interest and Minnedosa Senior Elec-
tion Official, Donna Dillabough has handed out seven
registration packages to possible candidates. However, of
those, none have yet officially registered. The registration
period will remain open until September 18th. Hopefully,
enough candidates will step up so that Minnedosa rate-
payers can have an election to vote for their next Town
Council.

Canada Doesn’t Need A Death Tax
By AAron Wudrick
canadian Taxpayers Federation
T hese are challenging times for the Canadian
economy. An unpredictable president to the south
has contributed to uncertainty around NAFTA, while
American business tax cuts have  erased  Canada’s
longstanding competitive tax advantage as we struggle to
attract foreign investment.
Even the Justin Trudeau government, which
as recently as its spring budget was content to pretend
all was well, finally seems to be acknowledging there’s
actually a problem that needs to be tackled.
But how? Would you believe that against this
depressing backdrop there are still those who argue that
what we really need are even more taxes?
That’s the conclusion reached by the left-leaning
Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) in a
recent study. As part of a raft of new tax hikes, the CCPA
proposes that Canada implement a new death tax (for
those who find the term off-putting, the more genteel
term is “estate tax” or “inheritance tax.”)
Inspired by the CCPA call-to-arms, over at
the  Washington Post,  resident Canadian contributor
David Moscrop picked up the death-tax baton and ran
with it, arguing that nothing less than the foundation of
democracy itself is at stake. “The most obscene way that
wealth is made is through large-scale inheritance,” warns
Moscrop, claiming that “passing along wealth facilitates
the concentration of resources in the hands of the few,
generation over generation.”
One might protest that it’s actually more obscene
for fortunes to be made by using governments to block
competition, or to suck money directly from the pockets
of taxpayers. But is it really true that passing your estate
over to your kids ensures they’ll stay well-off forever?
The evidence suggests otherwise. Indeed, even
the CCPA study shows that in 2016, nearly half of Canada’s
87 richest families weren’t heirs to a fortune, and that by
the third generation a mere 18 per cent of the ultra-rich
owe their status to the simple luck of having wealthy
forebearers. In other words, for the vast majority, the
huge advantage of inherited wealth naturally dissipates
over time, and income inequality does not automatically
perpetuate itself across generations.
But even if the generational transfer argument
fails, is it really so bad to tax deceased millionaires? After
all, when a rich person dies, it’s not as if they can use their
money. Coddled, spoiled heirs didn’t earn it. So, what’s
wrong with the government grabbing a big piece to divvy
up among us poor living saps who still have bills to pay?
To be clear: good reasons to oppose death taxes
do not include “they’re awful for the children of the

wealthy” or “we should feel extra sorry for the recently
departed rich.” The real problem with death taxes lie in
what they do while their eventual targets are still alive.
Death taxes effectively  double tax  these
Canadians, and create strong perverse incentives
against long-term saving and investment. They impose
a penalty on future consumption by taxing it at a much
higher rate than current consumption, meaning thrifty
wealthy people who save and invest their whole lives end
up paying far more tax than profligate ones who fritter
theirs away. From a society-wide standpoint, this is bad:
it means  less economic growth, less job creation and
slower improvements in living standards for all.
We also need look no further than the United
States to see that death taxes also create a big incentive
for aggressive  estate planning, ensuring that wealth is
allocated in less efficient (but more protected) ways.
This again reduces economic growth and job creation,
while simultaneously frustrating the main objective
of the high-tax crowd (more revenue!) by minimizing
the government’s eventual take (under our existing tax
code, billions in assets are parked offshore to help avoid
taxes.)
While it’s true that Canada is currently the only
G7 country without a death tax, broadening the analysis
shows that the global trend has been to ditch, rather than
impose, them. Australia and Norway abolished theirs in
1979 and 2014, respectively. Sweden  did away  with its
death tax in 2004, which at its peak had been set at an
eye-watering 70 per cent, and had been causing many
wealthy Swedes to leave the country altogether simply to
avoid high taxes.
And despite arguments of easy revenue, in OECD
countries the proportion of total government revenues
raised by such taxes has been falling since the 1960s as
wealthy individuals get better and better at using legal
loopholes to minimize their tax burden.
Finally, there’s no empirical support for the
assertion that the absence of a death tax in Canada
is  causinginequality. Post-death tax Sweden  remains  a
relatively egalitarian country, suggesting a death tax is
not a prerequisite to fostering societal equality, while the
U.S. and United Kingdom, which both have death taxes,
remain  more unequal  than death-tax-free Australia,
Norway and Canada.
It’s understandable that some activists, who
never met a government program they didn’t like, will
always be on the hunt for new revenue streams to fuel
an ever-expanding government. But whatever their
superficial appeal, death taxes are a bad way to raise
revenue, while causing major, detrimental side effects.
Canadian policymakers should ensure they stay buried
for good.

20 Years Ago… Cadurcis House

Arrives at Heritage Village Ye O l d

By DARRYL HOLYK

O n August 31st, 1998,

the period home,
known as “the Cadurcis
House” at Minnedosa Her-
itage Village was moved
onto the museum grounds.
The move was completed
by Brandon Building Mov-
ers.
Prior to the move, con-
tractors and volunteers re-
placed some of the houses
floor joists which were
more rotten than originally
thought. The home’s bal-
cony and verandah also
had to be removed due to
deterioration.
The Heritage Village
committee put out a call
looking for an old period
home to sit alongside
the Havelock School and
Hunterville Church at the
Heritage Village. After ex-
amining a number of old
homes, the “Dickie” home
located at N.E. 2-15-9 in
the Cadurcis District was
chosen. Built in approxi-
mately1910, the home had
sat empty for a number of
years, featured much of its
original charm and char-
acter and fortunately, had
not been vandalized while
sitting vacant.
Following its arrival at
the Heritage Village, the
now provincially desig-
nated heritage building,
underwent a major resto-
ration, inside and out and
was officially opened on

1888 – Three prominent citizens of Minnedosa and
a commercial traveller were lost on the prairie on
Sunday morning. Although the distance they had to
travel was only five miles and they started for home
at one o’clock, it was five o-clock before they reached
town.
1898 – The agriculture implements dealers of town
report the best season’s business in the history of the
town. A great portion of the sales were for spot cash.
1908 – This year, there seems to be an over supply
of harvest hands brought in from the east and some
of them are finding difficulty on procuring work at
once, although it is probably they will eventually be
absorbed.
1918 – The stone front of the Masonic Hall has been
torn down and replaced with white brick which gives
a brighter appearance to the building.

L ast week, a fire broke
out in the yard of one of
the properties in the Bran-

cording to Minnedosa Fire
Chief Dean Jordan, local

extinguish most of the fire
with a garden hose before
it had the chance to spread

The Minnedosa Fire
Department attended the

the fire, which was dis-

Community Info Sessions Held on Four Winds Project

By Hillary Miller In addition to the two pleton truly believes that
engineers, the information the project is full of posi-

L ast week, August 22nd

to 24th, the partners
involved in the Four Winds
Environmental Man-
agement Regional Solid
Waste and Recycling Fa-
cility hosted information
sessions in Sandy Lake, Er-
ickson, Onanole and New-
dale.
The information ses-
sions gave citizens the op-
portunity to voice their
concerns to the partners
involved, and ask any tech-
nical questions they might
have had to the engineers
who are working on the
project. The engineering
firm, Neegan Burnside,
was represented by Tech-
nical Manager Kent Hunt-
er and Project Manager
Kris Sewgoolam. Hunter
is employed by Burnside,
and comes with 30 years
of landfill experience, and
is a professional engineer
who has been involved
in many significant land-
fill projects. Sewgoolam
comes with over five years
of experience in managing
projects, which have had
varying degrees of com-
plexity. He is currently
involved in seven landfill
planning projects.
The two were able to
engage with community
members at each meet-
ing to provide information
and address questions and
concerns about the pro-
posed project. “People are
asking questions, and they
should ask questions,” said
Hunter, who has heard
numerous concerns over
cost, financing, location,
environmental impact and
the impact on taxes. “We
are designing the site to be
protective of the environ-
ment – we design landfills,
that’s what we do,” said
Hunter. “There is a process
that we go through, and
it’s going to be reviewed
by the province.” Hunter
showed no concern over
the process that the group
is taking in order to get the
project in motion. “I un-
I, Brent Fortune, from
derstand why people are
asking questions, but we
are confident, based on
our experience and our
work elsewhere that we
can make it work.”
While the session in
Sandy Lake saw a heated
discussion over the pro-
posed site, Hunter truly
believes the project is a
positive step forward. “I
do think that this is the
right thing to do,” he said.
“You have a whole bunch
of small sites making one
larger site that is properly
operated, and I do really
think that this is a good
project.”
At a concerned citi-
zens meeting held in San-
dy Lake on August 7th, it
was suggested that claims
made by R.M. of Clanwil-
liam/Erickson that they
could not have the landfill
nearer to them due to the
proximity to the airport
were unsubstantiated.
Hunter pointed out that the
facility’s chosen location in
the R.M. of Harrison-Park
near Highway #250 was
not selected solely because
of the airport – there was a
lot more to it during the
property selection process.
“With the areas that were
excluded, there was more
to it than the proximity to
the airport,” he mentioned
noting that the proximity
to the airport is more of a
standard than a regulation.
He also indicated that the
sites that were considered
were simply coincidentally
outside of the 15km prox-
imity to the airport.
Another concern
at the August 7th meet-
ing was the expectation
that citizens would hit a
60% recycle rate, which
was deemed unattain-
able. Hunter addressed
this concern by noting that
the 60% is a target, but that
the financial modelling is
not based on the 60%, but
rather all waste going into
the site, making it a con-
servative model. “I don’t
want people to think that
if they don’t get the 60%
diversion, its not going to
be feasible – that’s not cor-
rect,” he said.
Additionally, the con-
cern about garbage blow-
ing beyond the boundar-
ies of the landfill site was
also addressed. Hunter
explained that landfills
need to be operated in a
certain way to ensure that
garbage does not blow into
neighbouring properties,
leaving an unsightly mess.
This will be stipulated in
the operating procedures
of the new landfill to en-

sure that it is properly op-
erated, which includes the
appropriate covering of
the site. “If the board is not
operating it properly, they
are going to get called on
that, so it has to be done,”
mentioned Hunter. En-
suring that there is regular
cover over the garbage is
one of the main priorities.
This not only contains it
and keeps it from blowing
off site but it also keeps an-
imals from getting into it,
keeps the odour down and
helps reduce fire risk.
The concern of leech-
ing into nearby ground-
water was discussed as
well. “The site will have
to be designed to ensure
there is no impacts to the
groundwater and to make
sure there is no impact to
the surface water,” he said.
“It’s really all part of how
it is designed.” He stated
that while any type of miti-
gation, such as measures
taken to protect bodies of
water, will come at a cost,
they have taken into con-
sideration the amount of
protection required, and
he does not expect there
to be any major surprise
costs down the road.
sessions also gave commu-
nity members a chance to
discuss the project with the
tives. “I am proud to be a
part of this. As a Harrison
Park Councillor, any of the
partners involved, includ- negatives they are trying
ing representatives from to point out, I am going to

An Exchange Trip to Croatia

Some time ago, the ticipating in a speaking they were in two differ-

O ne of Minnedosa’s
young volunteers,

Minnedosa 4-H Club
was approached by the
Minnedosa Lion’s Club to
returned from an exchange see if any of the members
competition in Winkler,
MB. Rayna, who is heav-
ily involved in 4-H and an-
other club member agreed
ent categories. Topham
competed with a speech
about the brain injury she
received while playing soc-
cer, and the process she
went through on the road
to recovery. Rayna won
the competition and was
given the choice between
a $150 cash prize, or $1,000
towards an exchange trip
through the Lions Youth
Camp and Exchange Pro-
gram. She chose the trip
which the Lions helped
her arrange. As to where
she could travel, she could
choose any number of
unique locations around
the world and after some
research, chose Croatia.
“It was a pretty big de-
cision,” she said, but Rayna
chose Croatia due to its
mild climate, and the fact
that it was deemed a safe
place by the Canadian
government – which made
her application for health
insurance successful. She
was gone for 21 days, leav-
ing home on July 12th, and
returning on the 1st of Au-
gust.
Topham stayed with
a host family for the first
11 days of her trip, which
included a host sister, par-
ents and grandparents. As
only the host sister spoke
English, she noted that
the language barrier with
the rest of the family was
difficult. “The host sister
would have to translate
everything for me, and she
was fairly fluent in English,
but there were times when
she didn’t know the trans-
lations, and she didn’t
translate, so I just had to
nod my head and pretend
like I knew what was going
on,” recalls Topham.
Rayna’s host family
lived in inner Croatia, not
by the sea, so they spent a
lot of time travelling from
village to village, giving
her an appreciation of lo-
cal culture and everyday
life. She suggested that the
villages she was able to ex-
plore had a similar look to
old Quebec.
Her next stop during
the exchange was the capi-
tal city of Zagreb, where
she and the other youths
in her group were bused
to Porec, a seaside city that
was a six-hour drive from
Zagreb. The youths stayed
at a resort where her camp
was held. Here, Rayna
stayed with 25 others from
all around the world.
At the camp, each
person had to give a pre-
sentation on their coun-
try, where they would talk
about where they are from
and their country’s tradi-
tions. They took many
daytrips from the camp to
local communities, where
they would do volunteer
work and enjoy the local
beaches. Rayna was also
given the opportunity to
take a boat to some of the
Photo submitted
nearby islands for explora-
tion.
Topham believes that
her biggest take-away from
the trip was getting out in
the world and exploring
new places. “I was super
scared to travel alone, be-
cause I had never done it
before,” said Rayna. “Once
I got there I realized that
I was fine and everything
was okay, and I really en-
joyed myself.” Another
highlight of her exchange
experience was ziplining
across caverns, where she
could see local villages
from above.
Rayna truly had a great
time during her exchange,
and it was a great experi-
ence for her. She would
love to go back one day
and encourages others
to participate in interna-
tional exchanges if given
the opportunity. Rayna is
grateful to the Lion’s Club
for the opportunity, and is
planning to participate in
the speech contest again
this November.

Reena’s Tips and Helpful Hints

Dear Reena,
Years ago, your col-
umn featured a sugges-
tion for making spreadable
butter. What were the mea-
surements and ingredi-
ents? Helen
Dear Helen,
Soften a pound of but-
ter overnight in a large,
mixer bowl. The next day
start blending your but-
ter until it is creamy. Into
a large measuring cup
pour one and a half cups
of your favorite oil i.e. ol-
ive, vegetable, canola etc.
and slowly add the oil into
the butter until you have
a fairly liquid product (ex-
periment to find the con-
sistency you prefer.) If you
wish, you can add a little
additional salt. You will
now have a fairly liquid
product.
Pour your “new” but-
ter into individual small
containers and store in
the fridge. This product
will harden and remain
spreadable.
Dear Reena,
I live in an apartment
style condo so I have no
access to a clothesline or
any place to hang things
outside. The blinds in our
bedrooms are the nar-
row metal type, ivory co-
loured. They are getting
really dingy and I was seri-
ously thinking of replacing
them, but then I thought
you might know an easy
way of washing them. In
the tub is my only option,
but then what should I do
with them? Ben
Dear Ben,
Consider purchas-
ing an inexpensive steam
cleaner for your home.
Spray the steam cleaner
onto the blinds; wipe slats
with a clean sock or rag.
For regular cleaning, wipe
slates with a fabric soften-
er sheet to deter dust from
collecting on the blinds.
Or vacuum the blinds us-
ing the dust attachment. If
you do decide to wash the
blinds in the bathtub; lay
them on a towel and dry
them with your hair dryer.
Hi Reena,
I was wondering if you
have any tips/solutions for
getting the discoloration
out of the rubber liner just
inside the door of a front
loading washing machine.
Harmpreet
Dear Trevor,
Wet the area with dish
soap and water to dampen.
Scrape the area gently with
a metal putty knife or razor
blade. Wipe to clean; your
stove should look as good
as new!
To keep big hairy spi-
ders out of your house,
take horse chestnuts,

One Trunk’s hit  “Mis-
sion Potluck”  is a mashup of
comedy, music and poetic
monologues.  It is a play
inspired by the true story
of First Lutheran’s (Winnipeg)
fundraising efforts to  build
Gimli’s first seniors home in
the 1920’s. When it debuted
in Gimli in  the summer of
2015, it was an immediate
hit. Since then the company
has toured across Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Mission  Potluck  combines
local history with  physical
comedy,  and familiar hymns
with pop music of the day.
The show has been hailed as
“hilarious”, “the music was
beautiful”, “the best show I
have seen in years”. Coming
to Minnedosa on Saturday
September 15th, 7 pm at the
Minnedosa United Church.
Admission at the door is $20.

Students Examine Local Wetlands

By Hillary Miller sands of small “potholes” of benefits, and one of the
filled with water, making it benefits is drought relief,”

D r. Gordon Goldsbor-
ough, a professor of
Biological Sciences at the
University of Manitoba,
was in the area over the
past week at the Delta Wa-
terfowl station southeast of
Minnedosa. He was con-
ducting a two-week long
course with 21 students,
examining the different
wetlands in the area.
The Delta Waterfowl
organization promotes wa-
terfowl hunting in the area,
and was founded in Mani-
toba. Their main base of
operation was at Delta
Marsh near Portage La
Prairie. Over the years, the
organization spread out,
and one of the locations
they moved to was the site
near Minnedosa, in what
is commonly referred to
as the “Prairie Pothole Re-
gion”, due to the number of
small wetlands in the area.
Dr. Goldsborough point-
ed out that in this area of
Manitoba, there are thou-
the ideal habitat for ducks
and geese.
With his 21 students,
Dr. Goldsborough is con-
ducting his annual inten-
sive, hands-on course. He
believes that in the study
of Biological Sciences,
learning in a classroom is
not the only way to learn,
and feels that getting out
into the wetlands is a valu-
able experience for his stu-
dents. “I have always been
advocating that we should
make opportunities for
students to get outdoors,”
he said. While the current
trend of avoiding poten-
tial liabilities has curbed
the university’s interest in
courses such as this one,
Dr. Goldsborough has held
strong in his belief that it
is a truly great way for the
students to get interactive
experience.
Dr. Goldsborough has
been teaching this course
since 1994, but has been
holding the sessions near
Minnedosa for about eight
years, and hopes to carry
on with the course indefi-
nitely. It consists of one
week at Delta Marsh near
Portage La Prairie, and one
week at Minnedosa, where
the students are given the
opportunity to explore the
wetlands near Shilo, and
the wetlands in Riding
Mountain National Park
for one day each. Over
the duration of the course,
the students are exposed
to many different kinds of
wetlands, giving them a
broad knowledge base to
work with. The students
still have to sit through
classes during the course,
but once their classwork
Photo by Hillary Miller
is done, they are given the
opportunity to explore the
different wetlands.
One of the goals of the
course is to look at Eco-
logical Goods and Services
(EGS), which provides the
students with insight as to
how valuable certain wet-
lands are. “They are not
worthless, they have a lot
he said. “There is water
standing in that wetland,
so in the middle of august
when it is really dry, there
is a source of water, so a
lot of farmers – more and
more – are being encour-
aged to not drain wetlands,
at least some of them, but
to leave them on the land-
scape.”
Dr. Goldsborough
would love to be able to
accommodate more stu-
dents, however based on
the number of canoes he is
equipped to transport and
space in the dormitories,
he can only accept a cer-
tain number of students
into the program. He also
notes that the small class
size allows for a more in-
timate group, where stu-
dents and staff are able to
get to know each other bet-
ter.
This year’s course be-
gan on August 19th, and
is expected to wrap-up to-
day, August 31st.
